    let payload: [String: Any] = [
        "project": "my-project",
        "channel": "database-logs",
        "event": "MySQL Downtime",
        "description": "MySQL database is currently down.",
        "icon": "🛢️",
        "notify": true
    ]

    do {
        request.httpBody = try JSONSerialization.data(withJSONObject: payload, options: [])

        let task = URLSession.shared.dataTask(with: request) { data, response, error in
            if let response = response as? HTTPURLResponse {
                if 200...299 ~= response.statusCode {
                    print("Log event sent successfully!")
                } else {
                    print("Failed to send log event. Response code:", response.statusCode)
                }
            } else if let error = error {
                print("Error sending log event:", error.localizedDescription)
            }
        }

        task.resume()
